Katie had a restful weekend, and shook off some of the nocturnal habits that she was displaying by the end of last week. She is still sleeping heavier during the day than at night but she is getting some balance back. These days of being cooped up with her grandparents, unable to go anywhere or play with any other kids, are schedule altering. She gets bored with nothing to break up her day and she ends up watching a lot of Dora videos and reading a lot of books. She can only watch so much TV and read so many books before the desire to nap overwhelms her. Then, with no reason to wake up, her naps last for hours and by the time bed time rolls around she isn't tired. We all look forward to her getting back to a normal routine some time in the future. We just don't know when that future will be.
The sores on her face and lips are about the same. One heals, another begins to form. I don't think we are making any real progress. One of our readers, Sarah (www.allaboutmollie.blogspot.com), suggested Clindamycin because it worked for her daughter Mollie when she was suffering from something similar. We will ask the doctors about it this Thursday when we go back for another follow-up. We have also been trying warm, moist compresses and most recently some Blistex medicated lip ointment for cold sores. With any luck, some of this will start working to clear up this infection.
